If you are here because I talked about something geeky like star wars, trek, battlestar, the expanse, etc. I hope I've at least been somewhat reasonable. I also apologise in advance if I "well acktually"'d you.

The floss is hardly the first silly dance craze that kids have ever liked anyways. Chicken dance, The Locomotion, YMCA, The Macarena, The Carleton, and tons more... It is also not the first thing kids enjoy that adults (and edgy teenagers) look down on either.

Late Chicago had some great songs but none of them really held a candle to the big sound of early Chicago. 25 or 6 to 4 still has one of my all-time favourite guitar solos.

The camera(s), calculator, video/audio on a phone are significantly better quality/more capable than what's in this image. The speakers are way better in the image (though significantly larger) than what is on a phone, the headphones will depend entirely on what you use - they will be better than super cheap earbuds at least. I don't know enough about the guy to say one way or the other.

#2 that there is a good wish. Also should add "and vise versa" my friend has a really friendly cat who is allergic to humans so has to take meds daily.

Wouldn't it be Bowser and his minions hiding which castle she's in? Not really her fault Mario's information network is garbage. Also she gets kidnapped easily/often because her entire population is made up of anthropomorphic mushrooms and 2 plumbers who are constantly on drugs (sure Mario, that mushroom made you 10' tall...). Her having a competent security detail isn't a realistic expectation when her only option for hiring guards is the toads.

The opinion section has been shit since the days when I read the news on broadsheets (and if I date myself any harder my wife is going to be jealous). IMO the section should have no place alongside factual journalism and too many people associate opinion articles with actual news rather than just someone who has a bone to pick and enough time to write about it.

Two types of high sticking: Hitting an opponent above their shoulders (head/neck) is a penalty and what you are thinking of. Hitting the puck above your own shoulders which can result in a stoppage of play or a called back goal but not a penalty. The second type is close but just based on stopping the video it is unlikely that her stick was higher than her shoulders at the moment she touched the puck (it is allowed to be higher before that).

I printed one for my wife on my new 3D printer earlier this year as well. It quickly became her new 3D printer.

That's completely fair. If I had one I'd be making excuses to show it off as well.

No that's the Dallas Stars and Detroit Red Wings. The Wild are a different team from Minnesota.

#34 something that I absolutely loved about Rogue One is that it gave a lot of context for why Vader had absolutely no patience for Leia's diplomatic mission bullshit. He just caught his daughter with her hand in the cookie jar right before dinner, there are crumbs all over her face, and she's like "I'm just in the kitchen for a glass of water. I'm allowed a glass of water! Daaad!"

It could fit under a bench or the bed at the back since you will need one/both of those anyway. The beetle's engine isn't very big. Could also have an EV conversion which flattens the space used in the engine bay quite a bit (though range on the conversions I've seen isn't usually great). Bigger issue is going to be speed though as the classic bug was already struggling to hit highway speed without the boxy snail transformation.

Andor is great. If you like SW you should give it a chance (even if you don't give Disney a dime). Mandalorian is fun and worth a watch. The rest I think are skippable: Obi-wan is middling but has some moments. Boba Fett has an identity problem and feels lost other than the episodes featuring Mando. Ahsoka spins its tires too much and a lot of the character development seems to have happened between it and Rebels rather than on-screen. Acolyte is an unfinished mess. I haven't seen Skeleton Crew.

Chekhov's knife right there. Somebody in the future is in for a stabbing.

Both people would be better off with snow tires, a healthy respect for slippery roads/deep drifts, and a reminder that: if you do get stuck gunning it is more likely to make things worse than get you out. At least the civics are easy to push.

I used to work with a couple brits and every morning they'd greet me with "You alright?" which honestly took some getting accustomed to.

Look like bowling shoes too. I've been on rinks ice in sneakers and can manage. Would not want to even attempt moving around with those.

I saw someone say that the Republicans are cancer and the Democrats are the homeopathy that Americans are using to cure cancer. Fuck cancer, it is doing obvious damage, but homeopathy is just vibes and relying on it won't change the outcome.

It can also leave marks on the glass - not as easily as paint but still: better if you don't do it to other people's property at all.

Listen if the evil space wizard in terminator armour tells me that his apprentice is a secret: I didn't see anything and don't know shit.

It is Greek mythology. I figured that being a dick was assumed.

Named by parents who like Greek mythology but didn't read the story through to the end?

No see he's Vader's "secret" apprentice so even if he has been a part of very visible events witnessed by many people and he doesn't seem bothered by being noticed nobody will talk about him. ...'cause he's a secret.

Hard to be sure on the internet but judging by their submitted images you are likely responding to a hetero man who doesn't believe that they have the boobs or hips for this dress (though I would personally reserve judgement until I've seen them try it on).
